Sam, I own a field measuring one acre. If I walk the perimeter of this field once a day, wearing size 10 wellington boots, how long until the soil is completely eroded?
I just bought a bag of the new Starburst, and I definity have mixed impressions - the blackcurrant are far nicer now (not difficult) and the orange taste more like oranges. The lemon-lime have gone downhill, completing Masterfoods' hatchet job on them, and the strawberry are about the same. Not the total disaster suggested, at least.

i just watched horizon which started out by implying that they were going to prove that the main cosmology theory was wrong before at the end lamely admitting that it's probably right even though it blatantly requires magic (a.k.a. inflation), magic stuff (a.k.a. dark matter) and more magic (a.k.a. dark energy).

stupid physics

most physicists tend to ignore cosmologists, though.

i just watched an hour long sky at night about the usual drake equation related purely speculative shite

i love it

It could easily be that their base assumptions are off somehow. I basically take all cosmology with a massive pinch of salt.

Is it true that Geminis are really good at chess?

it's not broken, it's just not working perfectly. Whcih is hardly surprising really. Same kind of stuff happened with CERN all the time.

I am a Gemini and I win about half of my chess games. Dom is better than me.

Hilariously it turns out that CERN's shutdown is actually scheduled maintenance that's been planned from the get go, the news people just chose to ignore this for some mad reason.

Yesterday a man announced that there were no straight lines in nature and then caught my eye and asked if I agreed and I started thinking about gravitons and there was a prolonged silence as I visualised spherical fields and wave-particles and stuff, and whether there were any lines of any sort in nature.

Sam, are there any straight lines in nature?

perhaps all the dark matter is in a straight line

I thought about sine waves, but then wondered whether my I was thinking about this in too physical a context. Maybe there are lots of straight lines in nature, just not in visible dimensions? Time is a pretty straight line. Love could be a straight line. God could be a straight line.

After a while, I noticed that the man's face was sagging a bit, so I muttered something about how I couldn't support such a decisive argument without further data.

i believe that the universe is non euclidian, yes. Also time is not a straight line, it is a co-ordinate. Photons definity don't travel in perfectly straight lines, and nobody has ever actually measured a graviton so they don't really count. Quantum mechanics also probably precludes perfectly straight lines due to heisenberg uncertainty.

also God is an old, bearded man.

Samuel what do you mean by the universe being non-euclidian? Has it got anything to do with that stupid running tortoise paradox.

It is 9.20pm on a saturday night and it is important I know the answer to this.

Last night I watched brian cox's new show on the solar system (brilant) and also a horizon about how everything we know about the universe is wrong. It was pretty amazing because the cosmology it was talking about was based on nothng but cold hard maths, and so they had to find interesting ways of visually representing the subject matter. They settled for lots of lingering shots of a balloon blowing up in slow motion and also some tar very slowly settling on a studio floor. It was a magnificent feast for all of the senses.

It's a form of geometry. In a euclidian geometry two parallel straight lines will go on forever without actually intersecting, wheras in a non-euclidian geometry these straight lines may at some point intersect.

How can two parrallel straight lines ever intersect? it sounds to me like Euclid was a man who knew the score.

it's like how lines of latitude on a globe are parallel straight lines, but still meet at the north pole. It's more maths than physics, really, so I'm hardly an expert.
